How to update a column in BI publisher based on certain condition
I am new in BI publisher. I want to update rtf template Amount column based on certain conditions. Suppose in Rtf template we have Amount field, the sign of amount field will change based on value of another column like 'DR/CR' column. So, if we have 'C' in 'DR/CR' column, then amount will be multiplied by -1, else we keep the amount as it is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Debo

Stack overflow is for improving code. It is kind of bad form to supply no code with a question. Even if it doesn't work you'd be well served to include some code you have tried instead of asking others to write it for you.

This looks like a very beginner-level question, and is answered in both Oracle's documentation, and elsewhere online. Since there is no code posted, you could look at the default sample RTF templates provided by Oracle during installation. If BI Publisher is installed on your system, go down to the sample folder. On my system, this is at
C:Program Files (x86)OracleBI PublisherBI Publisher DesktopTemplate Builder for WordsamplesRTF templates
The advanced folder has more complex examples.

If you actually need the amount to be negated, because you intend to make calculations with the value, I think you'd have to change your query to conditionally negate the value. Another option would be to assign it to a variable and make your calculations on the variable.
